Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) by Johnarchon — 07 Apr 2014

First of all, I'd like to apologise to my eyes for making them watch this garbage.

The book was fantastic, the 2 movies (so far) are crap.

The story has been changed so much that it's barely recognizable.

Did the script writers even READ the book?

Where did Legolas come from?

Orcs chasing the barrels down the river?

Orcs in Laketown?

The entire fight sequence between the dwarves and Smaug just didn't happen. Smaug was already dead by the time the dwarves went into Eribor.

I didn't know bard had kids? There were none in the book.

I could go on and on, but you get the point.

I'm sure that if J.R.R. was alive today, he'd be suing someone for the butcher job they did on his story.

If you insist on seeing it, may I suggest you go to your local video store and RENT it for $5.
